Leisure Lake, MO population, income and ZIP codes

Leisure Lake CDP is a very small community in Missouri, with 158 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #792 of 1,082 ranked by population — larger than 26% of them. The median age here is 33.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly younger profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Leisure Lake CDP earn a median of $16,403 a year, 79.1% below the national figure of $78,538 and 70% below the $55,543 median for the 374 Missouri cities we cover. Household income here is measured before tax and pooled across everyone at the address, which is why it reads higher than typical individual earnings in the same area. Poverty reaches 65.8% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Leisure Lake CDP is valued at $74,400, 75.5% below the national figure and 51% below the $152,400 peer median, while median gross rent runs not published a month. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 4.5×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is harder here than in the average US market. 95.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, an owner-dominated market where rental listings are scarce and rent medians rest on a thin sample. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.

With 158 residents, a handful of survey responses moves every median on this page. Compare Leisure Lake CDP against its county rather than against national figures.

The Census withheld gross rent for Leisure Lake CDP because the sample was too thin to publish at this geography. Those values were suppressed at the source, not lost in our dataset, and we do not model a replacement. Everything else on this page comes straight from the ACS 2019-2023 ACS 5-year tables.
